Choosing a Reliable Telephone Answering Service

With so many answering services on the market today it can be difficult to source the right answering service provider to ensure your important clients and customers are always able to speak to a ‘real person’ when they call your phone lines. So what sets a high-quality answering service apart from the competition?

That’s actually a great question to ask because there are a number of aspects of an answering service that can empower the call handling service provider to stand head and shoulders above the rest. These aspects include their experience in providing outstanding call handling solutions, their services and availability, flexibility, the testimonials they have received from their customers, and so much more.

A 24 Hour, 7 Day a Week Service

For many businesses, the times they need the services of a telephone answering service provider the most are the times when there’s no one in the office to answer the phone. For that reason and many more, it’s important to ensure that a call handling service provider offers a flexible and reliable 24 hour, 7 day a week telephone answering service.

But not only that, you need to be certain that their call centre is adequately staffed at all times of the day because it won’t do your business any favours to have your calls directed to their lines if there’s no one to answer them or if their staff are so rushed that they can’t give your important callers the time and energy that they deserve.

Message Direct offers businesses across the UK a reliable and efficient 24 hour, 7 day a week call handling service that ensures they never miss a call at any time of the day or night, and even over weekends and on bank holidays.

Our services represent an affordable, cost-effective means of ensuring that your customers are always able to speak to a real person when they call to enquire about your products and services. We pride ourselves on the flexibility we offer our valued customers and will amend rotas upon request to ensure our call handling services always meet your specific needs.

A Wide Range of Services

There’s not just one telephone answering service you can arrange to help your business make a great impression at all times but many. Therefore, when sourcing a telephone answering service provider, make sure that they offer a wide range of call handling services that include message taking, emergency response, overflow call handling, outbound services, media response & brochure request, as well as holiday & temporary cover.

You never know when you may require another call handling service on short notice, so it’s a wise move to have established a relationship with a telephone answering service provider that can provide you with the services you require the moment you need them.

Message Direct offers a broad range of flexible call handling services that you can arrange with a single phone call. As a result, if you have an important meeting to attend and don’t want to be disturbed, use our message taking service, or if you need a hand with your outbound marketing needs, give us a call to take advantage of the outbound marketing services Message Direct offers. There’s so much more to our business services than inbound call handling alone.

Testimonials

Customer testimonials are an excellent way to get a feel for the way the services of a telephone answering service provider have been received by their customers. This is very important because until you entrust your phone lines, and therefore your clients and customers’ first impressions of your business, to a telephone answering service provider, you may not feel completely comfortable judging how professional they are.
